A couple sentences about your nation: (original content, not NationStates stats)
Sensoria (also referred to as Sensorland) is a coastal republic in southern Aura, on the Barry Sea and the Sea of Serenity. Sensoria is led by Harper Huxley, Coordinator of the Assembly of Delegates. The emergence of a united Sensoria is a relatively recent historical development, as the region had long been either ruled by powers like St Mark or split into smaller states.
Sensoria's biggest economic strength is a thriving tourism industry, with the nation's natural beauty and historical landmarks attracting many visitors. The government has prioritized tourism-friendly infrastructure, including passenger ports and airports, in order to play to this strength.
Sensoria is not a historically powerful country, but may be considered an emerging power following its unification and numerous government reforms, particularly under the ambitious former Coordinator Joe Krantor.

Some historical inspiration from Germany, e.g. Sensorian unification would be a landmark event prior to which Sensorian-speaking peoples were divided into various smaller polities. The Sensorian language and culture would have been influenced by seafaring merchants. Much of Sensoria's population is concentrated at the coasts, but capital city Fort Triumph is not coastal.
